So, April kicks off in style, with the first day of the month being Easter Monday. As you probably know, Spain is primarily a Roman Catholic country, so Easter is considered very important and, in Tenerife, there are numerous festivals connected with it.

As I'm writing this (March 21st), there are weather forecasts of severe snow all over the UK for the next few days. For all we know, this awful weather will still be in full swing come April. It's supposed to be spring, yet the UK seems to be stuck in the middle of winter. At least Tenerife's weather is behaving itself, being, at the moment, sunny and with temperatures in the low 20s. Crazy, isn't it?

There seems to be something about April in Tenerife that generates events concerned with soul music.

Thus we have, from the 12th to the 18th, "Soul in the Sun", taking place at Vivo nightclub in Las Americas (just to the right of Starco).

At the club, the outside terrace area will pump out soul music from 8pm till midnight, but the inside area will go on till 2am.

Starting on the same date, but going on till the 25th, is the Soul Lodge at the Square, in the Pueblo Canario area of Las Americas. This event goes on day and night and features top UK DJs playing not only soul music, but reggae and ska as well. Anyone can go and enjoy the party and bar prices are reasonable.

Finally, for those of you in the south of the UK who want to escape the horrendous weather, British Airways have announced that they're starting flights to Tenerife from Gatwick Airport. So, yet more incentive for an Easter break!
